i'm worried about the fiscal cliff, yes. negotiations look ugly. also i'm worried about u.s. stocks once they start to go ex-dividend and costco and disney on december 10th will be poster children for what happens to a stock after it pays out its dividend. so what i'm interested in is selling euro on the unemployment data that comes up. i'm taking an event like unemployment day and trying to sell it on a rally. i want to do that around 13175. profit down around 12975 and stop loss at 13250. again it's just this week. we have decent risk. most of the risk on trades will hold including euro. next week not so much. >> not least because the fed is meeting and may substantially weaken the dollar on its announcement on qe or are we not as sensitive on the greenback to that at the moment? >> i think that's priced in. what's not priced in is what happens after the ex-dividend date for stocks. i think they rallied back from their post-election blues because so many companies have issued new dividends. the fact that you were talking about apple and then not payi i a dividend and that's

el are, the fiscal cliff negotiations have been discounted by the market. and there seems to away great deal of optimism in the market that congress will come to a deal. so the outlook for 2013 is actually quite good, particularly after the fed's speech yesterday, the chairman's speech about holding interest rates very low until mid 2013. tying them into the unemployment rates and low inflation. really, it looks like equities are a good place to be because we're in a situation of financial repression where interest rates are going to be held low for at least another three years. >> kevin, let's talk a little bit about that fomc meeting. what's the market response to this idea of tieing the fed's response to the unemployment rate and inflation? >> well, a couple of quick moves because that the curve steepened. and, in fact, bond investors exited the market rather aggressively after a long holding period. so i think that overall, ta kind of structure will work well in 2013. but in the near term, the initial reaction on that change basis looks like they don't

this has some bearing on this week's debate over the fiscal cliff negotiations because earlier in the week on monday, senator demint put out a press release saying he was opposed to speaker boehner's office of $800 billion in new taxes. that was sort of the brush fire on the right that we saw a resistance to speaker boehner's position. now senator jim demint announces that he's going to step away from the senate entirely. he had already said that he was going to retire, so he would be leaving the senate eventually. and this eases the path a little bit for speaker boehner to continue those negotiations with the president. and we know that boehner and the president had a phone call just yesterday, late in the day, we don't know exactly what they said in those conversations. so that's the news here in the senate. >> it's still happening in a broader narrative, dick armey has had a fallout with his group. we' i wonder does this mark a new chapter in the future of the tea matter? >> absolutely it does, and it marks sort of a post election reckoning among conservative forces generally in wa
